You are not sharing negative stuff. The people that will watch this reaction, have most likely seen this already, they know what it is. I myself never watch a reaction for something I haven't already seen, because I may want to watch it, and I don't want the spoilers.
8:52 close, HE stands for “high explosive.” There’s also “AP.” Armor piercing. “Willy Pete.” White Phosphorus.
My grandfather was very open about his 27 years of service in his beloved Corps not because he was proud of being a 3 war combat vet but to try and make sure I didn’t become 1. He was 17 at Guadalcanal 18 on Gloucester and 19 on Peleliu 20 on Okinawa. He stated to me crossing that airfield was the most helpless he ever felt due to there being absolutely 0 cover. similar to Eugene’s company K 3/5 who took 64% casualties my grandfathers took 67% throughout the battle of Pelelui which at this point in the show has only just begun.
Messed up part about the water situation was that the oil barrels that Eugene and the new guys were scrubbing in the last episode were reused to transport the water for the marines during the assault. The water was all contaminated no amount of washing and scrubbing is going to make water drinkable after its been used to carry oil. That's why they had no water.
I think the majority of veterans appreciate it when civilians watch these types of war shows. People need to understand. If people understand, we can have sober and rational discussions about war and, and about when and if we should go to war.
FO sometimes means a Forward Observer to spot where artillery shells are landing so they can adjust aiming. Or a forward observation post to look for enemy
HE-High Explosive
AP-Armored Piercing
WP or Willy Pete- White Phosphorus used for smoke, illumination, and incendiary munitions
Ass Wipe- Toilet Paper
16:26 According to the book this was taken from, the first thing they tried was sticking him with morphine. They don’t know if the needle broke off or if he had too much adrenaline to be calmed, but they had to quiet him. The intent behind the shovel was to hit him with the flat, but it was dark and chaotic, so they accidentally ended up hitting him with the edge.
I genuinely enjoy your curiosity, respect for the people involved, and your sense of humor. I’m glad you’re enjoying most of what you’ve been watching!
Great book!! I won't say much more about it so as not to spoil who wrote it and what not for her. But definitely she should read it!!
@@amazingronaldo9656 She mentioned during at least one premier that it was all on Patreon already, so it wouldn’t really be much of a spoiler.
As a veteran of 40 years, I take no offense to your reaction videos on wartime shows. In fact, I feel you do us a big favor by calling attention to the horror and ugliness of wartime. You do great job in your appreciation of the surrounding aspects of wartime that many never even give a second thought to. Your empathy and appreciation of the sacrifices many made is appreciated by this serviceman of 5 Peacekeeping missions (Cyprus, Egypt, Sinai/Gaza, Bosnia and Afghanistan).
You're doing just fine. Keep it going.
FO= Forward Observer. Used to spot and call in enemy positions for infantry and artillery. Usually is coupled with a FO-RTO ( Forward Operator- Radio Telephone Operator) So they can communicate back.
two movies i'd suggest, both filmed at the same time by clint eastwood are "flags of our fathers" and "letters from iwo jima" one movie is from the american point of view and one from the japanese point of view
I find Letters from Iwo to be the better of the two. But both are really great movies!!
Both are excellent and teach us alot about what hell war is!
Buckle up Biss. Its gonna get rough.... Props to you for hanging in there on this one. Really is a one of a kind series....
@4:10 "ass wipe" = toilet paper..
@19:40 What you said here about triggering negative memories of war veterans was super sweet and thoughtful.
It was bad enough that there were little to no natural fresh water sources on Peleliu and heat that regularly soared over 100 degrees F. What made it worse was that Marines’ water supplies that they arrived with were contaminated because some dimwit (or group of dimwits) decided that the best way to transport the drinkable water was in empty 55 gallon oil/gasoline drums. The drums were not cleaned out before this, so any water that was put in them was instantly rendered undrinkable because of rust and petroleum contamination. The water was instantly vomited up by anyone that did drink it. It got so bad that when some of the ships offshore learned of the problem they, on their own initiative, began sending cases of fruit and tomato juice to the front lines. That solved the problem, short term. And needless to say, the idiotic mistake of putting drinking water in contaminated fuel drums was never repeated.
There’s a documentary out there called “Peleliu 1944, Horror in the Pacific” that goes into why the Battle of Peleliu was so difficult, including the water and temperature issues. It’s worth watching, but not until after you’ve finished this series.
11:43 Dextrose is used for glucose or sugar
I started smoking when I was in because it kept me from being homesick. The smell reminded me of my dad from my childhood. Later on it helped (at least in my mind) relieve stress. It's kind of the one little thing you find a little joy out of being in that environment. Similar to a hot cup of coffee. I recently quit after 6 years of smoking. HE also stands for high explosive, not heavy explosive. FO in this context means a forward observer. Usually used to call for fire or to mark target coordinates for fire in the future.
5:23 If you remember in episode 8 of Band of Brothers when Lipton started smoking, and Winters said, “I didn’t figure you for a smoking man?!” and Lipton replied, “Me neither.” Smoking is supposed to relax you, so I think there’s a fatalistic view about serving in the military that when it’s possible that you can die at any minute, what’s the point of worrying about lung cancer in 20 years?!
First week in army 2 out of 40 smoked.Less than a year last week in the army 2 out of 40 didn't smoke. Well at least we learned something.
War is never pretty and this one was notoriously vicious. You are coming up on the chapter where my great uncle lost his life on the Shuri Line and his nephew, my father, had his ship struck by 2 kamikaze in what was considered the greatest loss of life in a terrorist attack until 911 (being non signatory to the Geneva Conventions caused it to be called a terrorist act).
The little boy actor in Jurassic part did a fine job portraying Eugene Sledge, didn't he?
I was always reminded of the hard to pronounce Pacific battle locations while visiting Camp Pendleton Marine base in California. Many of their streets are named in honor of Marine war heroes and battles. When they did get water many of the Marines got sick from it. They used empty fuel oil drums to transport the water to the Island but, in their haste, didn't flush them out good enough and the water was contaminated.
A feel good sports movie is Field of Dreams. It’s more than a sports movie. But I can’t say more than that. It stars Kevin Costner.
For me being in a tank is more terrifying. Tanks attract high explosive weapons. Being hit in a tank can often mean being burnt alive.
Being in a Tank is an interesting dichotomy, because the thing protecting you from bullets, shrapnel and explosions will also be the thing that attracts the largest, most dangerous weapons on the field to you, and may well be the metal box that you die in.
"A moving foxhole attracts the eye", as the one infantryman said to the other infantryman who wished he was in tanks.
In Sledge's book With the Old Breed, the marine who had the breakdown was hit with two shots of morphine that had no effect.
HE = High explosive
Smoking helps ease their mental trauma, and also gives them something to always do. Inhale, exhale, watch the smoke drift away.. Many veterans turn to some form of addiction, weather it be drinking, smoking, drugs ect due to their time.
Cigarette's also give them an energy boost and a boost to alertness due to the nicotine and other properties in the cigarettes. it helps keep them on their toes with no water, food and running on days of no sleep.
The American artist Tom Lea served on Peleliu. You can see his paintings of the battle online. But be warned, these can be nightmare inducing.
K co. is fortunate to have Captain Haldane and Lt. Jones as commanders. Exemplary officers.
FO is a forward observer. Basically someone who directs artillery and mortars where to fire since usually they're so far away they cant actually see their targets. I was an FO in the Army.
You might enjoy the movie called Midway. It's a war movie about the battle of Midway Island during WWII. No where near as brutal as this one. It's more of a Naval Battle with strategy. It's also factual. There are two versions of this movie. One dine in the 1970s, and another done in the 20teens. I'd recommend the most recent version in the 20teend. Thanks!
Believe me, this episode was still quite light. There are even more brutal things to come.
1:23
Yes, the English language is difficult with so many terms and slangs etc. However, knowing multiple languages is a challenge too because you may say something in one language but speak another to someone else without even realizing. For me it’s Spanish, English, Japanese, learning Tagalog.
16:23
In war, it’s either one person has to go or everyone in the unit/squadron/company and many more go. When people go crazy like this, it’s a hard choice to make but if they won’t stay quiet and they compromise the position for everyone, it has to be done. Now do I agree with it, no but I understand because it’s either the enemy goes home and me 6 ft. under or they do. It’s a very complicated and hard situation to deal with.
16:40
Why give someone morphine when that could be given to someone else who is wounded. Remember supplies are limited and can’t be spread around like candy. Knocking him out unconscious probably would work.
18:23
That is probably the best way to explain a location calling it “Hell on earth” which is not far from the truth I believe.
Yes, digesting these types of series is hard to take it and it’s not always easy. You’re giving your own opinions on anything and we or at least I respect your opinions. It won’t stop me from watching all your reactions. Nothing you share is negative so don’t worry. You show heart and compassion for what’s going on and that’s very respectful.
thanks for watching ❤️
thank you
Ass Wipe = Toilet Paper. HE means High Explosive. Other types of artillery ammunition are HEI = High Explosive Incendiary, AP = Armor Piercing, and APFSDS = Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot. There are also artillery shells for illumination at night (flares), for making smoke, for starting fires (Napalm), and there used to be artillery ammunition filled with poison gas chemicals.
The sad part was this battle was to secure this island from Japan to be used for an invasion of the Phillippines, but in the end another plan was used and this essentially was a battle for no particular eason.
FO=forward observers
FO in the Marines means Forward Observer
As it happens they actually do "need to aim" but not precisely. I'm not military but I've looked at some infantry field manuals and the mechanics of firing on a field get pretty involved. They go into a lot of detail on angles and regions and ways to spread fire. It's true you'd end up killing people no matter what you did, but militaries have done all sorts of work figuring out the best ways to spread fire to kill as many people as possible.
HE = high explosive, as opposed to armor-piercing projectiles, which had less explosive and more metal. Some anti-armor projectiles were all metal, no explosives.
This gets worse, but in the end, you do get restored humanity and hope.
Issue is generations are changing, our grand parents who fought in WW2 are gone, our parents were living in piece and now are getting old and with them the vivid memory of the war will be gone. And then it is us who have no idea what war is and we are happy to jump right into violence.
Sad thing about Peleliu. The island was chosen for its "strategic airfield" to help save bombers returning from their missions. It would never be used. So it was practically all for nothing.
Well we can't let Patreon teach you more stuff than us.
So if you are ever traveling in your vehicle and are next to a truck that has one of those orange explosive hazard signs on them. If the number under the explosion symbol is 1.1 then that truck is carrying H.E. (High Explosive) material.
Wearing a Metallica shirt!!!! Hell yeah!!! Represent!!!
Smoking puts your mind at ease by firing happy neurotransmitters like any physical addiction....take all the time you need biss.
FO means forward observer, sledge being a mortarman would be trained in ranging and calling in coordinates for artillery.
Artillery and mortars are different
@@josephvincent4629 they are, but map grids are not. The Captain likely didn't have an actual arty FO at his disposal so a mortarman will do
The fighting was brutal in the Pacific, Japanese followed the bushido code. Bushido regarded surrender as cowardly. Each soldier was indoctrinated to accept that it was the greatest honor to die for the Emperor and it was cowardly to surrender to the enemy.
Those who had surrendered to the Japanese, regardless of how courageously or honorably they had fought, merited nothing but contempt. Horrendous acts were excused since they involved the killing of men who had forfeited all rights to be treated with dignity or respect.
High Explosive my Dear, not Heavy Explosive ;-)
I love this Outro- Music. Simply Beautiful!
I watch war movies once a year and than after watching them i need a long break.
High Explosive - H.E.
Gunny is short for his rank of Gunnery Sargent. Its kinda like first sargent in the army. There is only one per company and is usually a crazy old man with a blood lust. Lol
The sick thing is, this kind of high intensity warfighting is going on along a 1000 km long frontline, in Europe, right now as we speak, and it's documented in all it's brutality like no other war has ever been before because of all the drones and gopro cameras, it's an endless stream of maximum kenetic violence. War is hell, and "we" never seem to learn that.
absolutely.. people watch this of BoB and say: man ..war was hell..well guess what.. right now..tonight - same shit going on....and watching the videos when youtube still allowed you to see them.. I was struck by the humor in even the grimest circumstances that was displayed..right in the middle of it people are still able to be sarcastic or snarky (to the enemy usually) - that somehow gave me hope..like even when all is lost - all is not lost.....something like that
The whole Palau campaign should have been bypassed. Admiral Halsey knew Japanese air power had been decimated and posed little or no threat to the upcoming campaign in the Philippines. Gen. MacArthur convinced the Joint Chiefs of military and Pacific Navy Command that he needed Peleliu taken before he could land in the Philippines. The Battle for Peleliu began September 15 and Peleliu was secured Nov. 27. MacArthur landed in the Philippines on Oct. 20, a full 6 weeks before Peleliu was secured. Peleliu cost the lives of over 1800 Marines and 8500 wounded plus the lives of 12,000 Japanese. All for nothing.
Filtered cigarettes didn't come around until the 1950s. Cigarettes acted like a calming drug. Soldiers quickly became addicted to them.
I think you watching this series and and of Brothers is good, you get get to see war from the eyes of ordinary men. Now I hope you get ready for the horror of episode 9! Tough
HE..... High Explosive
HE aint Heavy Explosive but High Explosive
smoking relieves stress
HE is High Explosive
your patreon gave you bad info, HE stands for High Explosive. The types of rounds can be either illumination (infrared or visible illumination), smoke, high explosive, and training rounds.
It is a magnificent series Miss Bisscute and a great reaction. to complete your experience and knowledge of the Second World War in the Pacific, I suggest you react to the films directed by Clint Eastwood: Flags of our Fathers (2006) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) as well as the film starring Nicholas Cage. Windtalkers (2002) i think you will like them.
Correction: "H.E." = "High Explosives" =p =)
Correct, HE means high explosives
Thanks
@@BissFlix you have a new fan. I enjoyed these. Thank you.
Not only did all this stuff really happen. But it was so much worse IRL. These shows only show fraction of the brutality of war.
This series is very, very dark. It's no accident it didn't do as well financially as BoB. The fighting is brutal, the landscape is hostile, the weather is miserable. It IS hard to watch because there is no romance to it. It's the flip side of Bob: dehumanized and savage. Even the interactions between the Marines is harsh. But I really believe it's a more honest portrayal of that time and place than the entertainment industry had ever attempted before.
I can see that be the reason, thanks for watching ❤️
You said that name perfectly. Americans butcher that name. Emphasis is on the second syllable in the Philippines as well. Peleliu
FO= forward observer
Oh I see, thanks ❤
If not yet recommended some perspective. "The Fallen of World War II"
Contrary to what one sees in movies, hitting a person in the head hard enough to knock them unconscious has a high chance of killing.
FO forward observers. Sends corrections for the mortar rounds to the mortars.
HE high explosive, vice heavy explosive.
Recommend: How about a Steve Martin film called Parenthood. 😊😊
They did try morphine. It didn't work.
HE is high explosives sweetie not heavy lol
No matter how bad it looks like in the movies or on TV it was a thousand times worse in real life
The scale of murder that is war is hard to comprehend, in 3 years of conflict across 6,000 miles of the pacific the americans lost 111,000 men killed, sounds a lot, but compare it to other conflicts ... first day of the somme during world war 1, 60,000 british casualties, in the air over europe during 5 years of fighting 250,000 dead, Verdun during world war 1 over a six month period almost one million men killed, stalingrad over a period of just a few months 1.5 million dead ... but these loses are nothing compared to the Mongolian expansion in the 13th century where it is estimated that over a 60 year period 30% of the worlds population were killed .... we are a brutal species and we need politics to make sure that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past, but all to often as seen in gaza right now, politics fail us and we return to being brutal tribal animals
They did stick that Marine having a nightmare with morphine in real life twice, it didn't work because he well, thought he was going to be captured in his sleep by the Japanese so fought like a madman, the Marine who hit him in the head hit him too had unfortunately.
It's high explosive
HE = High explosive
